Identification of a Negatively Charged Peptide Motif within the Catalytic Domain of Progelatinases That Mediates Binding to Leukocyte β2 Integrins

The αMβ2 integrin of leukocytes can bind a variety of ligands. We screened phage display libraries to isolate peptides that bind to the αM I domain, the principal ligand binding site of the integrin. Only one peptide motif, (D/E)(D/E)(G/L)W, was obtained with this approach despite the known ligand b...
